In a poll of Republican primary voters, Ukraine Freedom Project found GOP voters concerned Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea creating chaos in the world. 81% think we are on the verge of WWIII.
The answers in question 2 are telling of the republican cognitive dissonance to the Ukrainian war, and a strange interpretation of Ukraine and Israel aide in relation to COVID spending: yes, $100B is 25% of the fraudulent $400B in COVID spending, but it’s only 2.5% of the total $4.3 trillion the US already spent on COVID.
So if it’s only 2.5% of elective and inflation -causing COVID spending, then how is it “expensive” to help defeat Russia and Hamas, with the knock off effect of protecting European freedom (many nations are US allies), and likely thwarting a real WWIII years down the road which assuredly would cost more and with a higher death toll??
Moreover, if the surveyed republicans believe that these atrocities place the world closer to WWIII; that the world’s US allies need the US to counter Russian, NoKo, Iranian, and Chinese influence in the world; and that Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan emboldened Putin to invade Ukraine…then why WOULDN’T the republicans take the opportunity to lead out of this mess ?? They could take the political win.
Tying Israeli and Ukrainian aide to defense of the southern US border is a strategic mistake: Biden won’t vote for the package despite republicans handing him a political victory by (finally) protecting the border. Far better to vote on the aide separately, which speeds help up, and fight the border issue later. Republicans waited 3 years already so what’s another 11 months until the election?
Steven I listened to part of Vivek on Rubin Report but couldn’t get past “Useless War in Ukraine and Peace Deal. Why is it alright for Israel or for any state, to want to keep all their land except for Ukraine. Haley was one who defended the Ukraine war for all the right reasons. That was the only part of the debate I saw and get infuriated when anyone talks negatively about Ukraine
